Apr 1st

Here I intend to document how I setup MythTV on Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 for Australian Digital TV. I am using:

  • Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
  • AMD 3200XP CPU
  • Airstar 2 PCI DTV Card
  • Nova-T PCI DTV Card 

Ok, first thing, make sure your install of Ubuntu is up to date. If you have an orange icon near the clock. Click on it and install the updates. 

Also, for Australian users, got and sign up here for the TV Guide data.

Initially the system will be configured for testing using:

  • Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe Motherboard
  • 3200XP AMD CPU
  • 512MB DDR Ram
  • Multiple old hard drives lying around
  • DVD-Rom

I am installing Ubuntu 6.10 Alternate version so I can setup LVM (Local Volume Manager) on the drive Ubuntu is installed to. I am also going to stress test the

mdadm --grow

command on a raid 5 setup with live data. To stress test the system I will install MythTV and record digital television from 2 PCI DTV cards. The MythTV install will be documented separately.
